Looking Backwards

Currently, I’m recovering from a total knee replacement.  Comes with a bit of downtime afterwards, and it was quite a surprise to discover that I quickly ran into a wall regarding new things to watch. Nothing seemed interesting somehow…I’d start watching something and then stop after 10 minutes. This may have been due to the pain; I just wanted to lose myself in something soothing. There was nothing left to do but to return to the oldies but goodies. You know, the rewatchables.

Here’s my list of shows that I’ve watched multiple times and find soothing. They range in genre but they are all compelling and, to my mind, comforting.

  • Schitt’s Creek
  • Sherlock
  • Grace and Frankie
  • Orphan Black
  • The Magicians
  • The Office
  • Gilmore Girls
  • The Other Two
  • Silicon Valley
  • The Good Place
  • Only Murders in the Building
  • Hacks

What are your favorite rewatchables? I could use some recommendations!

  1. I hope you’re feeling better by now. My favorites are Murder She Wrote and Magnum PI –the original. We watched Magnum every evening during the lockdown. I’m sure that justice always being served helps with whatever I have on my mind.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery!

  2. Sending best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. Some ones I go back to are Midsomer Murder, Murder She Wrote, the movie Armageddon, and probably a bunch I can’t remember right now. 🙂

    1. Appreciate the kind wishes, Katherine! And the recommendations…I was just searching up the movie Armageddon the other day to see if I could record it for future viewing. We are on the same wavelength! 🙂

  3. David Suchet’s Poirot

    Masterpiece Mystery’s “Lewis.”

    Sherlock

    Right now we are re-watching Amazon’s Jack Ryan series with John Krasinski so we are in the right place to watch the new movie.

    Hope the pain is better soon!

  4. It’s a big recovery from that one! I had it done quite a few years ago, but I do remember all the pain. That, and the pain meds, all mess with your concentration. The new Harlan Coben, I WIll Find You, was very good, IMO. Maybe the best of his adaptations. I record Modern Family reruns and watch those when I need somethning light. Do your PT! And best wishes for recovery!!

    1. Kaye, thank you very much–and you are so right! It’s been a struggle to do anything other than PT and rewatches. Hope you had a great outcome with your knee.

      And Modern Family–yes! Forgot about that one. 🙂

  5. I always get a chuckle out of Frasier reruns. The clever story lines they come up with are a hoot.

    May each day find you feeling better and better! 🌺
